This just in, from a PF email alert... You may resume your regularly-scheduled enablement!
Sure glad I didn't pull the trigger on the $1500 DA 16-50. But, I must confess -- I broke down & bought it recently from KEH, still for less than the "new" "old" price. What can I say? I'm weak. :) -c (PF email below...) Now that the business week has started, we can confirm that Pentax lens prices have dropped dramatically in the US, and are now going to be closer to their pre-price-increase levels (i.e. those prior to April). We have summarized the old, post-increase, and new lens prices for all Pentax lenses here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/news/pentax-lens-price-drop.html We're very happy to see that Pentax lenses have once again become affordable, and we will update you via a homepage news post should we learn more about Pentax's reasoning.
